On tap: Buffalo.ForRealTV beer spot

The first in a series of “Buffalo.ForRealTV” episodes has hit the social media airwaves.

“Buffalo.ForRealTV” is hosted by local musician Nelson Starr and is put together by Starr and Visit Buffalo Niagara, formerly the Buffalo Niagara Convention & Visitors Bureau. The video is the first in a series of eight that will be on the Visit Buffalo Niagara website and also released on YouTube.

The first segment, a three-minute long video, highlights Buffalo’s beer and nightlife scene including footage shot at Pearl Street Grill & Brewery, the Blue Monk and Cole’s.

The intent of the videos is to market the Buffalo Niagara region as “a cool place to visit.” The theme of future episodes is still being decided by the Visit Buffalo Niagara staff, although they are accepting suggestions on their website, www.visitbuffaloniagara.com.

“Buffalo.ForRealTV” is being funded by the Phyllis W. Pierce Charitable Trust, Buffalo Renaissance Foundation and the Simple Gifts Fund.
